Lbox88 Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 A: don't use the relay. B: take a dmm to that charger when you hook it up and make sure that it doesn't charge at over 15V. I had 3 different 12V Schumacher chargers that all wanted to charge at 16V+ Quote UBL | Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't it protect my agm from being brought down by my stock battery? B. I did it charged at like 14.8 Edited August 9, 2012 by BEEMDUB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMI CUSTOMS Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Is it a relay or a solenoid? Or an isolator?

AMI CUSTOMS Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Okay so it is a solenoid, you are fine using that, sounds like check your connections make sure you got tight clean connections.

AMI CUSTOMS Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 (edited) It is basically a giant relay, so make sure the ground is solid, I would go to the battery neg. You could check it with a DMM to make sure the coil of the relay is still functioning properly. Make sure ground and ign are connected, hook power to one side of the relay, check voltage at battery with car on (running), then check voltage at the battery neg and the open post on the other side of the relay, if it isn't the same at the battery then relay coil is weak and not letting full voltage pass thru the solenoid.

Hmm ok I did think that the coil could be weak but what do you think about this theory.. Heres how its supposed to be wired so on the big posts I had my battery 1 and battery 2 lead in 0 gauge, and on the ignition and ground lead I had some small ass like 18 gauge wire lol do you think that might the problem? I have 4 gauge wire I could use I just didn't think they needed some larger gauge wire because the posts are smaller than the battery 1 and battery 2 post Edited August 11, 2012 by BEEMDUB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
